We would suggest

Pachydiplax longipennis. It would help to crop the image since only you can see it larger than 560 pixels wide. It's a little slash about a half inch long for the rest of BugGuide visitors.

Thank you!

Thanks for your ID help. There was another male Blue Dasher in the area, but I didn't realize this was the female. I am still learning! I also cropped and reposted the picture since I didn't realize there was a problem with it. I do appreciate all your help...Carol

It looks more like

you resized it than cropped it. The dragonfly was much larger in the original post. If you put the original back up, we will crop it and show you what we mean.

reposted original

Hi! I have put the photo back that I think I posted originally. I normally crop them before posting. Your help is appreciated. Thanks! Carol

Well clearly our memory was wrong -

it's terrible getting old! We were sure the first time we looked at your image to identify it, that it was much larger. Clearly we must apologize since our crop is no bigger than yours! Sorry to have put you through the trouble of resubmitting it. Our crop will look a little larger in the thumbnail version since our crop is smaller, but it doesn't help the larger version at all. Thanks for letting us try anyway. Looking forward to more of your images.

No problem!

Thanks for trying! Maybe I can get a better picture another time. I was lucky to get this one since it didn't land for very long. It isn't as clear as some of my others since I forgot to turn on the vibration reduction on my camera! Thanks again...Carol
